Here’s What You’ll Need

Avocado soup requires avocados (surprise!) and just a few other easy-to-find ingredients. Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements—this is an overview!

Avocados: First, we’ll add 3 perfectly ripe avocados. This recipe can even be made with frozen avocados.
Cilantro: For an aromatic component, include ¼ cup of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped.
Lime Juice: Next, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice. You can also use fresh lemon juice in a pinch!
Garlic: Add a punch of zestiness with 2 cloves of garlic.
Jalapeño: Spice things up with ¼ of a jalapeño. I recommend removing the seeds, but you can keep them if you like it hot!
Vegetable Broth: To blend the soup, add 4 cups of chilled vegetable broth (learn how to make your own vegetable broth here!).

Choosing Avocados

Picking the perfect avocado can feel like a gamble, but here’s how to make it easy! The softer it is, the riper it’s getting. The ideal “eat-it-now” softness is just a little less than firm but not squishy. If it’s too squishy, it usually means it’s past its prime.

Most avocados darken as they ripen, but since that’s not always the case, trust the touch test (or level up with the stem test!).

Making Avocado Soup Is Super Easy

The rumors are true—you can make this soup with your eyes closed! (Jump to the recipe card for the full printable instructions.)

Step 1: Prep The Ingredients
Peel and deseed the avocados, then scoop the flesh into a blender. Add all the remaining ingredients to the blender, adding just a pinch of salt.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
Blend the ingredients until you reach a smooth consistency. Taste and add salt and more lime juice as needed, then serve immediately!

Recipe Tips

Serve Chilled: This avocado gazpacho is best served chilled, but if you prefer, you can slowly heat it on the stovetop. (Note that the color will become less vibrant the more you heat it.)

Extra Flavor: For extra flavor, try adding cayenne pepper, cumin, cucumber, or even some onions.

The Need For Speed: Use a high-speed blender or an immersion blender to get that perfectly creamy, velvety consistency. A food processor works in a pinch, but it may not make the soup quite as smooth.

Serve with Chips: A side of crispy tortilla chips is perfect for scooping up every last bite!
